San Diego
Just saw San Diego beat a Pac-12 team on the road, 7-2 Colorado Buffalo. Feeling better about loss at home to them. So should GCU.

I'll be rooting for them all season just because it makes that loss look better and better, but that game still leaves a sour taste in my mouth because we should not have lost that game.

Yeah, I'm with TD49. Time for moral victories for GCU has passed. A home loss just feels like a home loss to a team they could've beat feels just like losing at home to a team they could've beat, regardless of how SD has played since.

I'm with TD49 and Leadley too. Losing at home to SD hurt. It was a very winnable game.

Yeah, agreed. We've had a game to two like like that each year though... inexplicable bad losses. SIU Edwardsville at home... Omaha at home... I guess that comes with the territory with mid-majors :)

RE: San Diego
So San Diego goes and loses at home to North Texas which had lost at home earlier in the year to UTRGV. Since GCU and NMSU both lost to San Diego, we should crown UTRGV as the WAC favorites!!04-rock
Basketball is a strange game.

The talent is almost equal at the mid-major level and the margin for error is very small. It comes down to player matchups and making the right coaching adjustment during the game. San Diego was able to exploit both GCU and NMSU's weaknesses. For NMSU, a better shooting night and going to the zone a little earlier in the game might have given the Aggies a win.

NMSU was 12-20 at the free throw line that night. That is the main reason we lost that game. Also, zero inside game that night as well.

Free-throw shooting has been NMSU's Achilles heel in every game... but it wasn't an outlier against San Diego. NMSU's cold FG shooting was that night. Also, NMSU's defense didn't have the same bite that night it had against other opponent. San Diego's guards were too physically strong and too skilled to defend man-to-man. As good as our guards have been, Harris and Buchanan can be out muscled by bigger, stronger, guards; with a good handle. I think GCU also had similar issues slowing San Diego's Wright and Carter offensively.

Yes, it was difficult to defend their guards, especially with getting beat off the dribble over and over. Also, the zone defense was giving Canyon fits, which resulted in settling for too many threes rather than going inside and kicking it back out for better looks.
